SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
Press Stop. You will then get the PLAY/KEEP Page where you can audition the New and the
Original Tracks before deciding which to keep.
The
Overdub Mode is often a desirable way to enter Record even if you plan to record from the
beginning of the Track — just press the
Record Button while playing a Sequence, wait for the beginning
to come around again, and then play, to start Recording. This method lets you get a feel for the Sequence.
while listening to it one time through (or more), before Recording. For many players this may work better
than having just a one measure
Countoff in which to get ready to Record.
"Punching Out"
As mentioned previously, pressing the
Stop Button, or the Sequencer Foot Switch while recording not
only stops the Sequencer, but takes it out of
Record. Pressing Play will also take you out of Record.
utting you into Audition Play. So if, for example, you want to replace the first part of a Track but leave
the rest intact, you can do so by simply pressing
Stop, Play or :he Sequencer Foot Switch at the point
where you wish to Punch Out.
MIDI SEQUENCING ON THE SQ-80
Basic MIDI Connections
When using the
SQ-80 to sequence multiple MIDI devices, first connect the various Destination
instruments to the
SQ-80, and to each other, as shown below. Connect the MIDI Out jack of the SQ-
80 to the MIDI In jack of the first instrument. Then connect the MIDI Thru jack of the first instrument
to the
MIDI In jack of the second instrument. Connect the MIDI Thru jack of the second instrument
to the
MIDI In jack of the third instrument. And so on, for as many devices as you will be using.
If one (or more) of the receiving devices has a single MIDI Jack which is switchable between MIDI Out
and MIDI Thru, be sure to set that instrument for MIDI Thru. Or make it the last one in the chain.
With this arrangement, once you set up the proper MIDI Channels, etc, (see below), each device will
receive and play only the data that is intended for it, and will "pass along" all other Data. Also, each can
be played from its own keyboard (as well as from the
SQ-80's) without affecting the others, because
MIDI Thru jacks only pass along incoming MIDI data, and do not transmit what is played on the
instrument. Of course, the above connections will work the same for a MIDI device which doesn't have
a keyboard, such as a rack mount unit, a drum machine, etc.
